"What is the purpose of herding sheep? Make money! What is the purpose of making money?! Marry a wife. Why marry a wife? Sheep kid , give birth to a child, what is the purpose of having a child? Herd sheep." This seems like a circle is constantly circulating, but this is indeed my life. Many people may think that what kind of future can a sheep-herding baby have? Can it build an airplane or a cannon? I can't make these, but I can make people eat mutton without water.
I started herding sheep after graduating from high school. The job of sheep is the fourth generation in me. I have more experience in sheep grinding than anyone else. Sheep grinding is the "traditional industry" of our family.
For a full 16 years, from the 97 sheep at the beginning to 859 sheep today, they have built small foreign houses, bought small cars, and married a graduate wife. But who would have thought that I was ridiculed by the whole village for 16 years, enduring humiliation, not understanding, and not supported, so what? Others are looking at your fame and fortune, and I know what I want, that's enough.
1987, I was born in a mountainous ravine in northern Shaanxi. My parents are farmers facing the loess and facing the sky. It is not easy for me to raise our three children all my life. When I was a child, my family was poor and I drooled when I saw others eating candy. My mother always said, "I will buy it for you in a few days." However, after many days, I still didn't eat candy and I no longer believe my mother's words.
Our family planted seven or eight acres of land and hundreds of sheep. It can be said that since my great-grandfather, our family mainly focuses on free-range stocking. Even during the commune period, our family either raised cattle or herd sheep, and herding sheep became a traditional profession in my family.
But my dad still hopes that my brother and sister can study and stop doing the work of herding sheep. I have been dull since I was a child, not very good at expressing myself, and my academic performance is average, not good, nor can I say it is bad, but in short, I just wander in the middle and upper reaches. I am the second child in the family. Compared to my sister, she is much better than me, and it is also the hope of the whole family.
But my father has the idea of favoring boys over girls, and he knows very well that no matter how many books his sister has, he will get married sooner or later, which is equivalent to cultivating a daughter-in-law for others. But I don’t think so. They are all children of their parents. If a sister has a conscience and knows how to be grateful, she will repay her parents when she has a future success.
When I was in the third year of high school, it was difficult for families that were not wealthy because I had to support my two children. Besides, my parents saved money to marry my brother and I. My brother was already 20 years old. According to rural customs, he was at least at the age of getting married.
I am a normal student, and I feel the chance of taking the college entrance examination slim, but my sister is different. I am among the top few in the school, so it is no problem to get a first-class student.
My father and I talked about it when we were grazing sheep and told my parents clearly that I don’t want to take the college entrance exam because I can’t get into the college entrance exam. Even if I get into a college entrance exam, I may not be able to find a good job after graduation. It is better to make plans early and give my sister the opportunity to study. This can not only reduce the burden on parents, but also select the best to train.
Dad is not such an unreasonable person. Even though some of them prefer boys over girls, their palms and backs are all flesh. In the end, I agreed to have a separate plan after graduating from high school, and my sister continued to go to college.
My sister did not disappoint the whole family. After the college entrance examination, the grades reached the first-class level. My sister also swears that she will study for a postgraduate degree in the future. No matter what, it is a great thing to be able to get a first-class level in a small county like ours.
personally sent her sister to the school to report. She was very happy because the university campus was very beautiful. From then on, she would slowly move from entering a small society to living in the provincial capital. I also promised my sister that as long as I need it, my family will definitely support me, including giving me more living expenses.
When I got home, I was actually a little depressed because I didn’t know what to do, but I also knew one sentence: Every person is the top scorer.
Since herding sheep has become the way for generations to make ends meet, why don’t I do this business and raise sheep scientifically? We have planted trees and afforested trees in northern Shaanxi for so many years. It is easy to raise three to five hundred alfalfa all over the mountains and fields, plus mushroom grass.
Dad doesn't want to continue to stay in the countryside. He hopes that I can go out of the countryside, even if I go to a construction site to work, at least I can go to a big city. However, I did not do this. I took over my father's 97 sheep and started my entrepreneurial journey.
may be understood by people in rural areas. They cannot be ashamed of others and cannot be ashamed of others. No matter how you are a human being, it will be difficult to satisfy others' mouths. At the age of teenagers, I should go out and see the world, and may also meet the girls in the city. But I think I am young and have no money, so I might as well work hard for a few years to see what the result is, at least to save trouble for my father.
My personality is very stubborn and decisive, and I do whatever I say.
People in the village say that I am a big shot and think I am unpromising and staying in the countryside, my wife will definitely not be able to marry. Who would marry a sheep-herding baby? I also know that they are saying it is quite reasonable.
5 years, I have not been to the village several times. In addition to the necessary purchase of some agricultural items and feed, I basically spent it in the village. From 97 sheep to 400, I received a lot of money to build a sheep pen that can raise a thousand sheep. That was my goal and I also got my father's understanding and support.
Day after day, I also slowly began to study, visit, master new technologies, hire experts, and work hard for ten years. When I was 28 years old, I built two small western-style buildings. Even if I didn’t have a wife, I was preparing for the future marriage.
After graduating from graduate school, my sister married to the provincial capital Xi'an and started a business with her brother-in-law. I come back every year for the Chinese New Year, and I also learned a lot of knowledge under my sister's advice. But in the hearts of the whole village, no matter how rich I am, I am still single and still ridiculed. However, my sister introduced me to a partner, who was also a graduate student and a top student who graduated from Yangling Agricultural University. Although she was not beautiful, I liked the kind of life very much. She didn't hate me either. With the help of her sister, we were together.
was ridiculed by the whole village for 16 years. Now I have made it through. Not only have I married a graduate wife, but I am also full of expectations for the future.
I also firmly believe that every industry has produced top scorers. Now with the help of my wife, I believe that the future will get better and better.
